Hi,

We seem to have a plethora of PEPs where we really ought to have one (or none?).

PEP 575 has been withdrawn.
PEP 579 is an informational PEP with the bigger picture; it does contain some of the requirements that you want to discuss here.
PEP 580 and PEP 576 are two alternative implementations of a protocol to optimize callables implemented in C.

5. It should speed up CPython for the standard benchmark suite.

I'd like to replace this by: must not slow down the standard benchmark suite and preferable should not slow down anything.
